Prasanna Ginige, the District Secretary for Colombo, announced that the population and housing census is currently being conducted across the island. He urged the public to cooperate with officials visiting homes by providing the necessary information. He further requested that residents assist the officers, who will be identifiable by the Divisional Secretary’s signature and an official Identity Card.
Additionally, Ginige encouraged the public to provide an emergency contact number to officers in cases where residents are not home and to arrange a convenient time for their return. “It is also important to note that we will ensure that the relevant personal information you provide does not fall into the hands of any other external party,” he added.
